R O T N E v m fii fw ws Application filed February 9, 1918. seen at. 216,366.

Toallwhom it may concern. l F

citizen of the United 'States, residing at Kenosha, in the county of Kenosha and.

State of WVisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in Catch-Basms, of whlch the following 1s a speclfication.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in catch basins for sewers in which the water from the street will flow into the basin and will pass therefrom through an overflow pipe which has its upper end adjacent the upper end of the basin so that the solid matter will be deposited in the basin and will not pass through the overflow pipe. An object of the invention is to make the part of the overflow pipe within the basin removable so that the same can be easily cleaned when necessary, and can be attached to any size outlet, for any basin now in use.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which is simple and durable in construction, reliable and eflicient in operation and one which can be manufactured and placed upon the market at a minimum cost.

The invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts,

to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifi: cally pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a sectional view of the inven tion.

Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof.

As shown in these views 1 indicates the basin made of cement or the like and provided with the top casting 2. This casting is provided With a perforatedpart 3 through which the water from the street enters the basin. The top of the casting is provided with a cover 4 through which access may be had to the Intermediate the ends of the basin is located an outlet pipe 5 with its end secured in the wall of the basin and communicating with the interior thereof. This pipe is bent to form a water trap as at 6. Within the basin is located the removable part 7 of the outlet pipe. As shown this pipe is of curved formation and has its I end be seated within Be it known that I, ALFRED P. WOOD, a

end of the pipe 6 so as to make a tight fit therewith. The other end of the part 7 rests against the upper part of the opposite side of the basin directly under the.

cover 4. In this manner the part 7 may be easily removed from the basin for the purpose of cleaning the same and as the lower end of this part forms part of the water seal it will be seen that any solid matter deposited in this seal can be removed by removing this part of the pipe.

The water from the street flows through the perforated part 3 into the basin and any solid matter carried thereby will sink to the bottom where it can be subsequently removed through the man-hole. When the water reaches the top of the basin it will flow through the outlet pipe 7 and thus into the sewer. It will be seen that even though the water withinthe basin should freeze the outlet to the sewer will remain open.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make such changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fallwithin the sco 3e of the appended claims.

Note also that the trap 6, is full of Water all the time, owing to the position in which it is placed, thereby preventing any odor or sewer gas from arising to the open air, which is a great advantage from a sanitary standpoint.

WVhat I claim is l. A device of the class described comprising a basin, an outlet pipe having an enlar edend embedded in the side wall of said basin, a trap formed in said pipe ad acent the wall, a curved pipe within the asin having its lower end fitting in the enlarged end of the other pipe and its other end resting against the opposite wall of the basin adjacent the top thereof.

2. A catch basin comprising a tank and an upwardly curved outlet pipe connected thereto and communicating with the interior of the tank and forming a part of a water seal trap and an upwardly curved pipe communicating with the outlet pipe at one end andfonning the opposite half of a water seal trap, said upwardly curved pipe having its opposite end resting directly against the wall of the tank.
